‘He is vulnerable’: Trump feels angry, unprotected amid mounting crises
The WashingCIA Post ^ | 9/20/2018 | Ashley Parker, Philip Rucker

Posted on 09/20/2018 4:53:27 AM PDT by Lazamataz

President Trump’s declaration that “I don’t have an attorney general” was not merely the cry of an executive feeling betrayed by a subordinate.

It was also a raw expression of vulnerability and anger from a president who associates say increasingly believes he is unprotected — with the Russia investigation steamrolling ahead, anonymous administration officials seeking to undermine him and the specter of impeachment proceedings, should the Democrats retake the House on Nov. 6.

In a freewheeling and friendly interview published Wednesday, Trump savaged Attorney General Jeff Sessions, mocking the nation’s top law enforcement official for coming off as “mixed up and confused” during his Senate confirmation hearing and for his “sad” performance on the job.

Publicly, at least, Trump is going through the ordinary motions of being president.

Rule number one... Any article from the post or the ny times that has more than one author is going to be total BS....In fact the more authors, the more BS

In his shoes I’d feel p*ssed off and betrayed too.

Operation Mockingbird. They all get their 4 a.m. secure drops with CIA talking points. It’s not accidental at all, and that should tell you who President Trump’s real enemies are and whom he is fighting. The spat with Sessions is just theater.

where are the FakeNewsMSM stories asking why none of the documents ordered declassified by the President have yet been released, especially as it should have been possible to release the FISA documents immediately:

Video: Fox News: Rep. Devin Nunes on Trump declassifying FISA documents
Sep. 19, 2018 - 3:46 - Rep. Devin Nunes says on ‘Hannity’ that he doesn’t understand why key FISA documents have not been declassified yet.

They don't need to. Because the WashingCIA Post is wholly-owned, they just publish there.

Yes of course for The Compost. I was going to mention your thread title which included it, which is exactly correct.

They write this same article three times a day and will still find themselves writing this article six years from now.

There’s no doubt we are seeing the beginning of the civil war of 2018.
The media/full time government people vs. the rest of us.

They want to undo the election.

It says “propaganda” right on it. “Washington Post”, see?

If I’m on a jury for someone who has killed a WaPo reporter, I will vote to acquit, and the circumstances don’t matter.

I’m at the point where I think the comedy might be intentional.

I really really really hope so but if that’s the case, they need to get a move on. Taking a big gamble being so close to mid terms.

He and the First Lady need our encouragement and our prayers. I have been meaning to send a nice card to Mrs. Trump. Time to get it done.

In effect, the legislative branch is protecting Trump from his own executive branch agencies.

I have a feeling Trump’s order to release the documents will potentially reveal some more of the bad actors both in terms of content and how much remains redacted.

Oh, mounting crises? Let's see...unemployment figures; stock market indices; Korean diplomacy; ISIS getting smashed; Ukraine getting U.S. weaponry; the Arab Street not-exploding over moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem; GDP growth...

The people who are experiencing multiple crises right now are the Trump-haters...
